H EAT-RADIATO R.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 395,013, dated December 25, 1888.

Application filed December 7,1887. Serial No. 257,248. (No model.) Patented in Canada February 13, 1888, No. 28,527. 2

useful Improvements in HeatRadiators, (for which I have obtained a patent in Canada, No. 28,527, bearing date February 13, 1888,) of which the following is a specification.

My invention relates to improvements in heating-radiators, draft-regulators, and selfcleaning fuel-savers.

My object isto give a greater heatingpower with less fuel, also, being aself-cleaner, to save cost and danger from fire. I attain this object by mechanism illustrated in the accompanying drawings, in which- Figure 1 is an elevation of heat-radiator; Fig. 2, a vertical section of cone, revolving pipe, and radiator; Fig. 3, cone and damperpipe with cleaning-rod.

The first partof my invention consists of a cone, A, constructed downward with opening in bottom at I, placed inside of radiator B, giving radiation of heat; second, of an inner pipe, M, so placed that when handle E is turned horizontally to the left it revolves with draft-hole cut in side at O and meets hole in outer pipe, N, at D. When handle is reversed, it closes direct draft and causes smoke to ascend and descend to the bottom of cone at F, and out of inner pipe, M, which causes radiation of heat and saving of fuel.

My self-cleaner is a vertical rod, G, attached to cross-bar II, with arrow-shaped bottom at mouth of cone, and the rod. extending through small hole at I, scraping sides of cone, keeping it free from soot and making it a selfcleaner.

\Vhat I claim as my invention, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-

The combination of outside casing, B, cone A, with opening at I, inner pipe, M, having hole at C, outer pipe, N, having hole at D, handle E in horizontal slot, cross-bar H, and vertical rod G, having arrow-shaped bottom, substantially as and for the purposes hereinbefore set forth.

Vinnipeg, county of Selkirk, Province of Manitoba, May 2, 1888.
